| Kent McManis and Robert Jeffries provide the definitive introduction to one of the most popular American Indian arts -- Navajo rug weaving. Drawing on decades of study of this tradition, the authors cover its development from the seventeenth century. They include everything from classic Chief's blankets, to the famous Two Grey Hills designs, to the latest in pictorial rugs. Of great help is a list of standards for judging the quality of a rug, along with advice on proper care. Illustrated in color with over fifty rug types available today.
